Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I don't know if any one there can help me, but i just want some one just hear my complaint. i purchase a 96 ford contour in 1999 with very low mileage. a year after i brought that car i begin having problems with that car. it have had 2 transmission. it have had a lot of electrical problems and now yesterday the motor is gone. over the years i have talk to the ford company but it was always it was not any thing they could do for my car. they should have stood by they cars but they. i first paid to much for the car. the dealership i brought the car from went out of business. i went back to them when the car first start giving me trouble and the next time i went to them they had closed down. the ford company just did not do me right at all. what hurt the most i had paid my last car payment yesterday and now the motor is gone. i feel if they would have listen to me from the beginning maybe it wouldn't had to come to this. i talk to ford on several occasions. i had a lt of electrical trouble and fumes use to enter the car. i just been threw a living nightmare with this. i don't care if i get any money or not i just want for some one to hear my complaint caus no telling how many other peoples may have experience the same problems. ford people just did me so wrong. but i have learn a good lesson . never buy a ford again. even when the call had a recall i don't think they did not fix it right. i know once you buy a car and you have to take care of your car. i have a another 96 honda. i have never , ever had any problems at all. it just no way why a car have to have had so many transmissions and other problems like that ford have gave me. i am so hurt with this whole situation don't no one know at this time how i feel. i am just very, very hurt. thank you very mush for listening to me. have a good day!*ak
